Once we added the ability to send one shared web page e-mail to multiple people, we realized it would make sense to include yourself on that conversation. So we’ve added an option to the Share Window to send yourself a copy of the Share Email as well. This way, if anyone does a Reply All to the Share Email, you’ll get included in the action as well.

All you have to do is check the box that reads “Send a copy to myself” and you’ll be included in the recipients of the Share Email. This way, you can continue the discussion about the web page beyond the initial Share Message you provided.

We recently changed the way email sharing works based on our own internal experience using scrible for article sharing. We got frustrated that we couldn’t have group email threads based on articles we were sharing with each other. The way things were working, if you shared an article with multiple people, each recipient would receive their own Share Email. Then, if one of the recipients wanted to reply to that email and include all of the other recipients, they’d have to somehow magically know who those recipients were and manually add those people to his (or her) reply. Ugh. We didn’t like that. After grumbling about it to each other for a while, we remembered that we write the code and fixed it! Now, all of the email addresses you enter into the Recipients field in the Share Window will all be sent one group email so that every person will see all of the other folks included in the Share Email. So now, to carry on a group email conversation about the article, all you have to do is hit “Reply All” and everyone’s in the loop! Much better!

We’re always looking for ways to improve sharing. If you have suggestions on how to make scrible more collaborative, please let us know through our feedback page.

Imagine that you get the following Share Email from your friend Robert:

“This article relates to our conversation last night. Please see my green notes for my thoughts on the matter.”

You have no idea what Robert’s talking about. You didn’t even talk to him last night. You look at the “To” field of the email and see that your mutual friend Loic is on the email as well. Was Robert directing this annotated article to Loic or you??

Turns out that Robert’s message was directed at Loic, but he also included you in on the shared page because he thought you’d be interested as well.

In the world of email, the “Cc” (Carbon copy) field is used to avoid this confusion because the primary recipient of a message appears in the “To” field and secondary recipients appear in the Cc field. So, everyone receiving the email knows who the email was directed at and who’s just along for the ride.

In the same spirit of clarity, we just added a Cc option for pages shared via email using scrible. This is useful in case you want to Cc a separate set of people on the Share Email than the ones you’re primarily directing the page to (i.e. the folks entered in the Recipients field in Share Window). Here’s how to use this new feature… Clicking the “Add Cc” link in the Share Window will pop open the CC field like so:

Fill it in just like the Recipients field and you’re ready to go. Now, everyone will receive one Share Email, with separate recipients shown in the “To” and “Cc” fields of the Share Email. Everyone will know who you’re primarily talking to and who’s was just included to keep ’em in the loop.

For those of you who missed scrible at CES (we don’t blame you, there were TVs there bigger than our booth!) may not have noticed that we now have an iPad optimized version of the toolbar and library. There’s no app to install, just a bookmarklet like the desktop version. All you have to do is point your web browser to scrible, and we’ll take care of the rest.

We reworked the toolbar to make it more finger-friendly with bigger buttons and a condensed interface. We also made it scale and move with the viewport, so it’s always the right size right where you left it. You’ll notice a few buttons have been consolidated, but don’t worry, everything is still there. Pressing the scrible logo will reveal the undo, redo, min/max notes, and remove toolbar buttons. A long press on the text styles button will reveal bold, underline, italic, and strikethrough buttons.

The library has also been streamlined and given a cleaner interface for the iPad. All of your articles saved from the desktop are available, and vice-versa. You can search and filter through your entire library, just like the desktop version. Not a fan? Well, scroll to the bottom and there’s an option to switch over to the full desktop version as well.

You’ve probably noticed that scrible’s had some major changes lately. We’ve been hard at work implementing improvements based on your feedback. Here’s a list of the changes, followed by the details:

Publicly sharable URLs

Permalinks

Share multiple pages

Shortcuts

Publicly sharable URLs: One big thing we heard from you was that you wanted to share your saved pages more freely (via blogs, Facebook and Twitter). Previously, if you copied the URL of a saved page from your Library into a Tweet or Facebook or blog post, no one else could view it because they weren’t logged in as you. The URL of the saved page was private and limited to you. Now, such URLs are open and accessible so they’re more easily sharable. Dont’ worry; they’re not discoverable. So, unless you explicitly provide the URL of the saved page, no one should be able to find it.

Permalinks: We’ve added a permalink option so you can easily generate and copy a permalink to the page. Just look for the following Permalink Button in the scrible Toolbar:

When you click it, the system’ll work for a moment and then display the following Permalink Window with a permalink you can copy and paste into a blog or Facebook post or Tweet:

Share multiple pages: You can now share multiple pages at once from your Library. Just select the pages you want to share and then click the Share Button atop the Library.

Shortcuts: Encounter an interesting scribled page you’d like to keep tabs on? Add a shortcut to it in your Library by selecting the Create Shortcut option under the Save Menu.

You can assign your own Page Name, Comments, and Tags for this page and you’ll be able to find it in searches of your Library just like any page you’ve saved. When someone shares a page with via scrible, a Shortcut to that page will automatically be added to your Library. Shortcuts don’t use any of your storage quota.
